I don’t normally talk much on this topic. It almost feels like “it’s been done”, and more importantly — I don’t want to come off as some cheesy “get rich in your pajamas” guy who’s “selling” affiliate marketing to people. …but, I realize that I do, in my daily life, “sell” affiliate marketing. How? Because ...…
Now this is exciting. My Son just made his very first Affiliate Commission! No, the commission he earned wasn’t an enormous amount of money. (Hint: It was $2.) This single commission is not going to put my son through college, nor will it pay for a single college course — nor will it pay for ...…
Affiliate Marketers build a lot of websites for their respective niches, and one powerful way to build a website chalked full of merchant products and content is by using datafeeds. “But datafeeds are so complicated!” Yes, they can be.

Some people learn by being told what to do, or watching as someone else does it. Over the years, I’ve come to the conclusion that most people learn best when they (a) ...…
If you’ve been around for a while, you may have noticed some big changes (and growth) here at AffPlan.com. The most obvious of these changes is the new look of the website. It was quite an undertaking, as the original AffPlan.com was a simple, under-utilized, rarely-filled blog. I had originally used Thesis Theme for this ...…
…and not just in my own mind! Affiliate Summit (the premiere Affiliate Marketing Conference) honors a few select professional Affiliate Marketers every year, in their “Pinnacle Awards” ceremony. I like to think of them as the Oscars of Affiliate Marketing. (Don’t agree with me? I don’t care, darn it. This year, the awards ceremony took ...…
This was a ton of fun. My good friends and I were on a webinar (recorded as a podcast to replay) recently, where we all talked about how we got started — and we shared a few fun memories to share. “Who are these good friends of yours, Todd?”, you ask? They are: Brian Littleton ...…
